Brunch Beat: Bloomingdale’s hosts the men for brunch

Thillist and Bloomingdale’s aren’t leaving the men out when it comes to brunch! They are getting together to throw a Men’s Suiting Brunch at The Mall at Short Hills (1200 Morris Turnpike, Short Hills, NJ) on Saturday, Sept. 10. Men will save 30 percent off dress shirts and 25 percent off shoes and belts, while a DJ spins beats and brunch snacks are served. Also, Bloomingdale’s style experts will be on hand to help you decide whether that tie matches that shirt. Remember to RSVP by Sept. 7!

While most people take to Manhattan for brunch, Brooklyn is known to have some great spots. See for yourself if Rucola (190 Dean St.) is one of them! Gilt City is offering brunch that includes one appetizer and entrée per person for up to five people at the popular Northern Italian restaurant in Boerum Hill. Your group also gets unlimited mimosas and bloody Marys for two hours in the deal, which is only redeemable Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. through Dec. 1.

The Half Pint (76 W. 3rd St.) has a hot deal, this one brought to you by Groupon. Depending upon how large your party, you can buy the two-person brunch for $19, or the $32 four-person option. The smaller offering gets you and your brunch buddy two dishes, two sides and two non-alcoholic drinks. The other deal gets you four of the same items. The Half Pint serves up traditional American brunch fare — the fresh mozzarella, tomato and basil omelette caught our eye!
